Somedays it seems like i started just yesterday other days feels like 20!ive learned alot and come a long ways since the beginning i started in a big hurry and thinkin i knew it all ive now become a progressive shifter never in a hurry just try to be efficient and patient stress levels are much lower now and i actually feel like im in control of my destiny in this industry ive got a great gig and i still make as much money as i did when i was in a hurry and stressed im steadily in top 5 and generally in top 2 in my company (which they determine by profitibility) not by miles driven so i guess ive become a grown up trucker now lol its not as exciting as it once was but i no longer have those anxiety riddled days not knowing where or what i was doing I guess the moral of my story is at 2 years i can finally consider myself a proffesional and it feels good
Ps.i help every rookie i can instead of being the jerk sittin in my truck laughing at them cause they are struggling a couple minutes and advice to someone willing to learn can change their path

About Us

TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007. After 15 years on the road I wanted to help people understand the trucking industry and everything that came with the career and lifestyle of an over the road trucker. We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.

Becoming A Truck Driver

Becoming A Truck Driver is a dream we've all pondered at some point in our lives. We've all wondered if the adventure and challenges of life on the open road would suit us better than the ordinary day to day lives we've always known. At TruckingTruth we'll help you decide if trucking is right for you and help you get your career off to a great start.
